Monkey Thieves

All you know August is not a good time to watch TV. BUT there is a great exception: "Monkey Thieves".
It is a mixture between a documental and a soap-opera, starred by a group of Monkeys. This is the plot:


Even Jaipur's monkeys are affected by the global credit crunch. As money becomes tight for the human residents of Jaipur, free handouts to the temple monkeys become ever more scarce. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that the Galta Gang (the monkeys group) has been so successful that their numbers have burgeoned to over one hundred individuals. When this happens, macaque troops undergo a process called fission: the group splits into two. This is because the territory can no longer support such a massive troop.

The matrilineal lines are sustained in the top half mother troop, but in the splinter group we see a big change in structure as previously middle-rankers like Bippin, Yash and Tito are suddenly accelerated to the heady heights of leadership potential.

Follow the Jaipur monkeys as the groups are forced to divide, friendships challenged and the hard times felt by all in Monkey Thieves.

_1.000_

We are celebrating the first 1000 visits to our blog. Congratulations to everyone who has made it possible!...
A poem to celebrate this moment:


THE DEATH OF ART
“Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you.”
-critic Harold Bloom, who first called slam poetry "the death of art.”

I am not a poet. I want to be rich and buy things for my family.
Besides, I am sort of popular and can honestly say I’ve had a great sex life.

I am not a poet. Georgia O' Keefe paintings do absolutely nothing for me. I do not feel oppressed or depressed and no longer have anything to say about the President.

I am not a poet. I do not like being called an "activist" because it takes away from those that are out on the streets protesting and fighting for our rights.

I am not a poet. I eat poultry and fish and suck way too much dick to be considered a vegetarian.

I am not a poet. I would most likely give my ass up in prison before trying to save it with poetry . . . and I’d like it! Heck, I’d probably be inspired.

I am not a poet. I may value peace but I will not simply use a pen to unleash my anger. I would fuck somebody up if I had to.

I am not a poet. I may have been abused and had a difficult life but I don’t want pity. I believe laughter and love heals.

I am not a poet. I am not dying. I write a lot about AIDS and how it has affected my life but, despite the rumors, I am not positive. Believe it or not, weight loss amongst sexually active gay men could still be a choice.

I am not a poet. I do not get Kerouac or honestly care much for Bukowski.

I am not a poet. I don’t spend my weekends reading and writing. I like to go out and party. I like to have a few cocktails but I do not have a drinking problem regardless of what borough, city or state I may wake up in.

I am not a poet. I don’t need drugs to open up my imagination. I've been a dealer and had a really bad habit but that was long before I started writing.

I am not a poet. I can seriously only tolerate about half an hour of spoken word before I start tuning out and thinking about my grocery list or what my cats are up to.

I am not a poet. I only do poetry events if I know there will be cute guys there and I always carry business cards.

I am not a poet according to the scholars and academics and Harold Bloom. I only write to masturbate my mind. After all, fucking yourself is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you.

I am not a poet. I am only trying to get attention and convince myself that poetry can save lives when my words simply and proudly contribute to “the death of art.”

Housework? really?




How to Spice Up a Relationship: Get Your Hubby to Do Chores!


My husband complains that we don't have sex often enough, but I'm rarely in the mood. It's probably because I'm always so tired from trying to keep up with the housework he doesn't help with! How can we spice up our relationship and find balance?


Marriage researcher John Gottman has found that men who do more housework have wives who are much more interested in sex. Whenever I cite that study, men are always very surprised by the connection between housework and sex … and women aren't surprised at all.


When men do housework, their wives feel more cared about and there's a greater sense of partnership. For women, sexual energy is very closely tied to the sense of partnership they feel with their husbands or boyfriends and how tired they are and resentful they are. A woman who feels her husband is helping out and doing his fair share is going to be much more interested in him sexually. So if a man is looking to spice up a relationship and have more sex, he should bust out the mop!


Sometimes it's useful for women to point that out. Tell your husband, "Having you do housework is a turn on for me." See if it doesn't help you both get more of what you want.

Dancing Queen: a royal begining

"Dancing Queen" is a pop song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was released in August 1976, but was first performed two months earlier, on 18 June 1976, during a Royal Variety Show in Stockholm the evening before the Swedish royal wedding. It was the follow-up single to the hit "Fernando" and is commonly regarded as one of the most successful singles of the 1970s. "Dancing Queen" was written by Benny AnderssonBjörn Ulvaeus, and Stig Anderson and is considered by many to be ABBA's signature song, as it reached the number 1 position on popular music charts in 13 countries. Recorded in 1975, it was released on the group's album Arrival the following year and as a single with "That's Me" as the B-side.

Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustav of Sweden. They listened the song for the first time in their hen/stag night. 
How many jokes would be done during the party!

Dancing queen's lyrics!

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen.

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing.
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine.
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine.
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life.
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen.

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone.
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen.
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen.
